In-Camp Training...

yesterday, left the office at around 8:45pm, after clearing all my work...
and after telling my staff what to do for the next week when i will be away serving the nation...

this morning woke up at 5:30am...
it's been a very long time since i last woke up at such un-Godly hours...
managed to catch a cab to Seletar East Camp to report for my 8-day In-Camp Training (ICT)...
luckily i gelled my hair before i left home or my "Mud Fire" hair colour would have been so obvious...
fortunately i also cut my hair on Monday in preparation for this ICT...
for those who had coloured hair and long hair were forced to get their hair dyed black and cut on the spot today...
the auntie charges S$18 for a dye and S$8 for a cut...
some of my army mates were caught...
and trust me, it wasn't a very good experience...

the briefing in the morning was all we had for the day...
the rest of the day was spent chit-chatting with my army mates either in the canteen or the bunk area...
if not for the interesting topics of discussion, it would have been most unbearable...
with the super duper hot weather, some of us were perspiring outside the bunk...

it was shocking to know that the army (in collaboration with the Government) will be conducting HIV testing for reservists who have served more than 5 high-key ICT...
i wonder if that is leagal...
i thought HIV testing should be voluntary...
even the doctors cannot force the patient to take a HIV test...
what right does the Army have then?

we will be attached to the Maintenance company next week to help repair vehicles...
time for more idling and relaxing...
of course cock-talking...

there will also be IPPT next week...
hopefully i am able to complete the three chinups...
my only obstacle since running is not a problem...
wish me luck!!
